Spot mistakes before they get expensive

• Efficient inspection: Time-saving and better overview. The use of drones in construction and property service has changed how we approach building inspection and mapping. Where previously expensive scaffolding, rental lifts, or dangerous climbing work were required, a drone can deliver crystal-clear images and video footage from the air within minutes. This provides significant advantages for private homeowners, artisans, and contractors alike.
• Applications for homeowners and housing associations: Roof and gutter inspection: Quickly check for loose roof tiles, chimney cracks, moss, or clogged gutters without climbing up a ladder.
• Energy check and thermography: In addition to solar panels, the thermal camera can map general heat loss and thermal bridges on the building facade and roof to optimize insulation.
• Before and after photos during renovation: Document roof replacements, painting, or new solar panel installations in high resolution – ideal for insurance, sales material, or personal archives.
• Storm damage assessment: Get a quick and reliable overview of any storm damage that can be sent straight to the insurance company. Advantages for the construction industry, commercial sector, and contractors.
• Large-scale solar panel control: On commercial buildings and larger solar parks, drones shorten inspection time by up to 70% compared to manual searches. The drone precisely localizes components requiring repair. Inspection and troubleshooting of photovoltaic systems: Using a thermal camera, the drone can quickly scan the entire rooftop solar installation. Defective panels, hotspots (overheated cells), and short circuits are detected instantly so the system performs at its maximum.
• Streamlined construction site inspections: Closely monitor construction progress and identify potential errors or delays across the entire site.

Where do the savings come from?

• Safety first: Reduce the need for manual work at height and create a safer working environment for employees.
• Documentation and quality assurance: Save detailed image material of critical structures and technical installations before handover, preventing disputes.
• Securing maximum energy production: A defective module in a solar system can drag down performance across an entire string. Fast detection prevents prolonged energy loss and ensures full return on investment.
• Lower equipment costs: No need to rent expensive lifts or erect time-consuming scaffolding just for an initial survey.
• Reduced time consumption: A task that previously took half a working day can often be completed in under an hour. Prevention of consequential damage: Early detection of faulty electrical components in solar panels or roof leaks prevents fire hazards and costly water damage long-term.
